Wike made this comment during the official presentation of the nomination letter of \u20182020 Governor of the Year Award\u2019 which was given to him by the management of the Leadership Media Group at the Government House, Port Harcourt.<\/p>\n

According to him, President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s failure to convince APC lawmakers to support the inclusion of electronic transmission of election results in the Electoral Act was proof of a plot to rig the future elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who voted against e-transmission of results should be ashamed of themselves. They never mean well for this country.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are a member of the National Assembly and you voted against electronic transmission of results, your children should call you and say \u2018daddy, are you well?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a coup against the people, and when you plot a coup, you know the consequences of plotting a coup. National Assembly members have plotted a coup against Nigerians and Nigerians should hold them responsible. All they are planning is to rig the election because they know Nigerians have abandoned them,\u201d Wike said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
